More Lawton stories

Robert Dvorchak weighs in with his report on the Lawton deal. He notes that

Lawton's acquisition means that Craig Wilson, who is still being considered as an everyday player, will get most of his at-bats as a first baseman next season. But Daryle Ward is still in the mix at first.

As much as I enjoyed Craig Wilson's multi-month Jim Thome impersonation, I still find myself remembering his 2004 season not for that but for the second-half slump. He was the picture of inconsistency.

Joe Rutter tells us Lawton is no Brett Favre. Can Brett work the count? Snarkiness aside, he's right, Lawton has been hurt in his career. Rutter also notes that the Bucs are considering multi-year deals for Jack Wilson and Oliver Perez.
